Providing Multiple Ways of Finding Content

Overview

Individuals have adopted a variety of methods for finding content on websites. Some people prefer search, others prefer navigation menus, and others prefer site maps. For some users the choice might be dictated by a particular feature's ease of use. For example, some users with disabilities might find that it's easier to use search than to operate a dropdown menu. In order to address the diverse needs of all users, multiple means should be provided for finding content on your website.

Techniques
